DWARF BEARDED IRIS 
The demand for good dwarf iris is increasing by leaps and 
bounds and the improvements in form and color evident in re- 
cent introductions including our own, surely justify this increased 
popularity. Many varieties were sold out last year and advance 
orders already indicate another shortage this season. These charm- 
ing little iris are so easy and worthy of everyone’s consideration, 
especially for brightening odd corners, the rockery and for edging 
the perennial border. Those we offer are truly dwarf and are 
a carefully selected list of finest varieties every one of which is 
distinct. 
CULTURE: Same as the TALL BEARDED IRIS. 
SHIPMENT: From July 15 to December 1. 
ATROVIOLACEA Each .50 
A true pumila and the first to bloom. Red purple. 
AZUREA Each .50 
Loveliest sky blue. A pumila hybrid. 
BLUE FLASH (Marx 1947) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Light wedgwood blue self. Dainty flower. 5 inches. 
BLUE MASCOT (Marx 1947) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
H.M., A.1.S. 1949. Almost chicory blue self with semi-flaring 
falls. 5 inches. 
BUZZER Each .50 
Soft lavender blue. Most pleasing and a prolific bloomer. 
5 inches. 
CREAM DELIGHT (Marx 1951) Each 1.00 
Lovely cream or ivory self of largest size. The beautifully 
modeled flowers are produced in lavish numbers and the soft 
color does not conflict with any other. Strong grower and a 
rapid increaser. 6 inches. 
CREAM TART Each .50; 3 for 1.00 
Another arenaria seedling but larger than most. Pale yellow 
with dash of red purple on the wide flaring falls. Strong 
grower. 5 inches. 
DITTON’S PURPLE 
Fine violet purple. Branched. 10 inches. 
Each .50; 3 for 1.10 
GLEE Each .50; 3 for 1.10 
Very light yellow. Heavy bloomer. 10 inches. 
HEATHERBLOOM (Marx 1948) Each 1.00 
Color is close to Heather or Hydrangea red according to Dic- 
tionary of Color. We have grown this for several years and 
its unusual color has attracted all visitors. 6 inches. 
INTRIGUE (Marx 1951) Each 1.00 
The finest smoky blend we have been and a much needed im- 
provement on the older varieties in this color class. Stand- 
ards are dusk or slate gray. Falls are dusky plum purple 
edged bronze enlivened by prominent orange beards. The 
domed standards and broad semi-flaring falls give us a dwarf 
of exceptionally fine form. 6 inches. 
KEEPSAKE Each .50; 3 for 1.00 
Delightful tiny golden yellow bright orange beard. 4 inches. 
LITTLE SKIPPER (Marx 1948) Each .75; 3 for 1.75

Dictionary of Color. Charming bicolor and very dwarf, 4 to 
5 inches.

One of the loveliest pure white dwarfs we have seen. Slightly 
taller than other dwarfs. 10 inches. 
MAROCAIN 
Lustrous blackish purple. Finest of this color. 
18 
Each .50 
MOON GLEAM 
MOON GLEAM (Marx 1947) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
H.M., A.1.S. 1949. Very near sulphur yellow self with semi- 
flaring falls. Finest light yellow. 5 inches. Illustrated above. 
INK SPOT (Marx 1951) Each 1.00 
Bright blue black Buzzer seedling. Depth of color is about 
the same as Marocain but blue toned instead of purple. A 
showy subject in the garden and a splendid foil for the yellow 
varieties. 6 inches. 
PAM (Marx 1951) Each 1.00 
Delightful color combination of white and yellow. Like the 
tall bearded variety PINNACLE, the standards are creamy 
white, the falls sulphur yellow. Form is not good by present 
standards and the pinched falls, objectionable to some, are 
lost in the mass of blooms on established clumps. 8 inches. 
SOUND MONEY 
Finest golden yellow self. 5 inches. 
Each .50 
SUN DROP (Marx 1948) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Very bright yellow self. A few shades lighter than its parent 
Sound Money. 6 inches. 
TINY TONY Each .50 
Rich red purple like TONY but just half the size. 
TINY TREASURE Each .75 
We cannot choose between this and Keepsake. Both are 
lovely and very similar. 
TONY Each .50 
Glowing red purple. One of the very best dwarfs. 6 inches. 
WEE ADMIRAL (Marx 1947) Each 1.00 
Intense dark red purple of precise styling with semi-reflexed 
falls. H.M. A.1.S. 1949. 
YELLOW FRILLS (Hill) Each .50; 3 for 1.00 
Deep brassy yellow with stiff flaring falls. Excellent substance 
and perhaps the best of the large yellow dwarfs. 10 inches. 
YLO Each .50; 3 for 1.10 
Bright yellow with flaring falls. Arenaria seedling. 6 inches.
